>
>
> Trails need to be wider so people can walk while holding
> hands.
>
> Instead of a permit system or regulations, the Forest
> Service needs to reduce world-wide population growth to
> limit the numbers of visitors to wilderness.
>
> Ban walking sticks in wilderness. Hikers that use walking
> sticks are more likely to chase animals.
>
> All the mile markers are missing this year.
>
> Found a smoldering cigarette left by a horse.
>
> Trail needs to be reconstructed. Please avoid building
> trails that go up hill.
>
> Too many bugs and leaches and spiders and spider webs.
> Please spray the wilderness to rid the area of these pests.
>
> Please pave the trails so they can be plowed of snow during
> the winter.
>
> Chairlifts need to be in some places so that we can get to
> the wonderful views without having to hike to them.
>
> The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me
> awake. Please eradicate these annoying animals.
>
> A small deer came into my camp and stole my jar of pickles.
> Is there a way I can get reimbursed? Please call --- ---
>
> Reflectors need to be placed on trees every 50 feet so
> people can hike at night with flashlights.
>
> Escalators would help on steep uphill sections.
>
> Need more signs to keep the area pristine.
>
> A McDonalds would be nice at the trailhead.
>
> The places where trails do not exist are not well marked.
>
> I bought lots of sandwich makings, but forgot bread. If you
> have extra bread, leave it in the yellow tent at V lake.
>
> Too many rocks in the mountains.
